Open videos stored in iCloud drive

I have some exercises videos stored in my iCloud drive folder. How do I open those on my iPhone??

Hi Dcneuro,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have videos stored in iCloud drive and would like to access those on your iPhone. To access those videos, they would need to be synced to your iPhone. You are not able to access this content from iCloud drive on an iOS device. For more information, please review the attached article. 
iCloud Drive FAQ - Apple Support
How do I access all my files in iCloud Drive?
You can access your files in iCloud Drive any of these ways:
 Using any supported web browser, you can go to iCloud Drive or iWork for iCloud beta at iCloud.com. In iWork for iCloud beta, you can find your Pages, Numbers, and Keynote files.
On your Mac with OS X Yosemite, you can go to iCloud Drive in Finder.
On your PC with Windows 7 or later and iCloud for Windows, you can go to iCloud Drive in File Explorer.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 8, you can access your files from Apple apps like Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, or any apps that support iCloud Drive.
Best regards,
Joe

  • How do I find pdf's stored in iCloud Drive with my iOS devices?

    I have recently updated OS X to 10.10 and all of my iOS devices to 8.1.  And I routinely store Pages, Numbers, Keynote and pdf documents on iCloud Drive.
    But I can't figure out how to find a pdf stored on iCloud Drive from an iOS device.  It's obvious (in the finder) in Yosemite, but I have no idea with iOS.

    You have to access documents in iCloud drive on an iOS device from an iCloud compatible app that can read the document you are trying to open.  For PDFs, you can use an app like Documents 5 by Readdle.

  • Read pdf files stored in icloud drive from ios8

    Ok. So how do I Access and read my PDF files stored in icloud drive from my ipad?
    I´ve read that there´s no icloud drive App like dropbox and that it has to be done from a third party App. (strange enough), but I can´t seem to find a third party App that connects to icloud drive yet.
    Thanks.

    The Apple website specifically states "Because with iCloud Drive, you can safely store all your presentations, spreadsheets, PDFs, images and any other kind of document in iCloud and access them from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or PC.".
    Now, howe do I "store my PDF" and "access them from my iPhone"?

  • Do I need to have iWork on my iOS device in order to view files that are stored in iCloud Drive?

    I was hoping that iCloud Drive would allow us to view files on our iPhones or iPads without having Pages, Numbers, or even Word, Excel, etc... When I did the update to iOS 8 I found that there was no separate app for iCloud Drive, thus no way to simply view files stored on iCloud Drive.  I understand not being able to edit the files without having iWork or Office programs installed.  Does anyone know if we will have this capability or if I'm just missing it?  If this option isn't going to be provided to us, I'll be forced to continue to use Dropbox to view files on iOS devices (even though we can't view iWork files on iOS Dropbox anymore...)

    To elaborate on my question, this is what I was expecting.  The iPad and iPhone in this picture looks as though there is a place on iOS where you can see all of the files that are located in iCloud Drive.  You can also see that each file has an associated tag (the colored dots) which we were able to start using on Mavericks.  I understand that the Mac you see in the picture has iCloud Drive as a native(ish) drive on the computer which will be available with Yosemite, but I don't understand where on the iPhone/iPad these shots were taken from, assuming it's iOS 8.0
    On the up side, I just received my iPhone 6 today to find that iPhone6 and 6+ users are given Pages, Numbers, and Keynote free for their iOS devices.

  • Viewing video stored on external drive

    I have an external drive with all my video stored on it. How do I set up iMovie to view those videos without storing them on my Mac's internal drive?

    First, you need to make sure that the drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). FAT 32 will not work.
    If they are in a format that iMovie can edit, such as DV, HDV, h.264, Apple Intermediate Codec, Apple Animation, MP4, Motion JPEG, etc., then you can create a folder at the top level of the drive named "iMovie Events". Then drag your folders of video into this folder.
    The next time you open iMovie, it will generate thumbnails and cache folders, and you can edit them in iMovie.

  • I cant open files stored in iCloud in iWork

    I am using the latest version of iWork on my iMac and I can't open any files that are stored in iCloud any time I try to open a document stored in iCloud in an iWork app I get a dialog box that says 'The file "xxx.pages" couldn't be opened.' It does not mater which iWork application I am trying to use I get a version of that dialog. I can still access these files using the iCloud apps on the web or the iOS apps on my iPhone or iPad.
    I was able to access these files at the beginning of January 2014 but sometime this month they stopped opening on the iMac and the latest updates to iWork did not help. I have reported this in feed back to Apple.
    Any ideas?

    As a work-around:
    In the "Pages -> Open ..." dialog, drag the document out of the iCloud, and onto your desktop.
    Once I did that, I could open and edit documents that I could not open when stored in the iCloud.  After the edits were complete, I could drag the document back to the iCloud and could open/edit it from my iPhone, but again not from the iMac until it was dragged back to the desktop.
    This only applies some of my documents.  Some simple "test" documents, open fine when they are stored on the iCloud.  My more complex documents, containing mathematical symbols and other advanced formatting, need to be dragged to the desktop.
    Hope that helps.

  • TS4009 How can I recover videos stored on icloud backup?

    Some of the videos I downloaded from my phone were corrupted when imported to iPhoto. I heard that if I import them into another video app they might be ok as the originals seemed fine. How can I access and download my videos from the iCLoud camera roll backup? Cheers.

    Have you pointed your iTunes to the iTunes Library location on your external drive?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364
    If so, check to be sure that the videos are showing up in your computer's iTunes and will play there before attempting to sync with your iPod.

  • Where is captured video stored on hard drive?

    I made a one-step iDVD last night. For those unfamiliar, that means you click once, the program rewinds your camera's footage, imports it, then burns a DVD. Cool. But where is the video stored on my Mac? Now that it's burned, I'd like to delete it.
    Thanks!

    'Use a program such as WhatSize or Disk Inventory X to determine where the video is stored.

  • How to see Office docs on iPad stored on iCloud drive?

    How to view MS Office docs on iCloud drive on the iPad?

    To further extend on your reply. If your unable to view the documents after you've linked iCloud to the local app on the iPad then see if you can view the document on https://www.icloud.com/#pages. If your unable to view the document there, then the document isn't in iCloud at the moment. You can simply drag the file onto the screen, and it should upload your document. After the document is visible on your iCloud.com the document will be viewable on all of your devices via the Pages app, when logged into your Apple ID.

  • How to re-open files stored on external drive?

    I'm attempting to open a project that has been stored on an external hardrive, however although I've copied all files relative to the project along with the project file itself back to the main hardrive; when the sequence opens in the timeline it is without most of the clips & shows the universal "video is offline" message!
    What am I doing wrong and what is the correct procedure?

    If you follow Harm's suggestion, all should be great - unless you have chosen to Offline All, or Ignore All and then done a Save over your Project file. If you have, I'd go back to that external and copy the Project file over again, as you will want to use the semi-automatic Linking, as described by Harm. To manually re-Link all Offline Media would temp me to maybe look at the latest AutoSave version. You CAN manually re-Link the media, but that is labor intensive.
    Good luck, and do follow Harm's suggestions,

  • Pages won't open documents stored in iCloud

    After a major crash of my iMac after installing Mavericks, I returned to my MacBook Air running Mountain Lion and installed Pages 9.0 (can't reinstall Mavericks on the iMac due to an extremely slow connection)
    Now the problem:
    Pages won't show me my previously saved Pages documents in iCloud under "Open existing files". (Actually, it won't even save new documents on iCloud).
    For info:
    "Documents and Date" is checked in iCloud system preferences.
    All documents show in Finder under an alias folder I created of the Mobile Documents. But I can't open them.
    Even "open with" will give me only Terminal as available app.
    The only document that will open was a document created after the upgrade to Mavericks on the iMac...
    Any ideas what is wrong?
    Thank you very much

    Apple has created a new unified file format for:
    Pages for iOS 2.0.1
    Pages 5 for Mac OSX 10.9
    iWork for iCloud beta
    iCloud
    Anything going through iCloud now gets converted to the new format.
    Pages 5 only runs on OSX 10.9 and can open Pages '09 files but often damages them. It can not open Pages '08 files.
    Pages 5 can export files back to Pages '09 but often with a much simpler format as Pages 5 is missing over 90 features.
    Pages for iCloud beta uses the new Pages 5 format but lacks UI and many formatting tools.
    Pages '09 can not open Pages 5 files at all.
    Far from being a format for all it is a format for very few. It requires specific versions of all the software, running on only compatible hardware and operating systems.
    I do recommend you stick with Pages '09 just to get your work done and that you do not update to OSX 10.9 Mavericks. This means not being able to transfer files back and forth via iCloud to your iPad. The best you will be able to do is Export to Word .doc and email that to yourself.
    The whole arrangement is a rats nest of things going wrong. You are either stuck with the latest version of Pages with very few features, format that nothing else reads and all the bugs, or you use Pages '09 which works but will have it files screwed up by iCloud and can't swap files with the iPad version.

  • How to watch videos on iCloud Drive

    I would like to store a bunch of videos on my iCloud Drive and then when I want to watch them I would download them to my iPad. How can I do this ? I'm guessing it's impossible to do with the native Videos app and maybe another app such as OPlayer will be needed for it, or is it possible with Videos ?

    Not with Videos. If you wanted to see them in the Videos app, you'd have to add them to iTunes on your computer, sync it with your iPad, and then look at the "Home Videos" section in the Videos app.
    If you want to store them in iCloud Drive, you would have to find a third party app that's compatible with Drive.

  • How can I delete all my documents in iCloud Drive?

    I started using iCloud drive on my PC, but it has got in a complete mess syncing the files. I want to delete all files and start again. If I try to delete them on iCloud.com I can only delete a few files at a time (if I select too may it gives an error "there was a problem deleting XYZ please try again later" which is very tedious). I have unlinked my PC and all my apple devices from iCloud drive.

    Having the same problem same as this one:
    Installed "Arc-Media" S/W was automatically installed on iCloud Drive, after connecting, with USB, to an older Kodak camera. Did this in order simply save just a few (10 pix) to iCloud. 
    The Arc Media files, from the program somehow got stored on iCloud drive too.  Here's the kicker. When I tried to delete these files from iCloud Drive, somehow, some Network drivers and adapters for my PC's WiFi were deleted or corrupted with them. I lost all ability to log-in on my Wireless Network!
    My wirelss provider could not troubleshoot since the problem was not with their Network; it was with my PC's sudden loss of Railink Network Adapters. It took 5+ hours on this PC reinstalling them from an "HP Manager site".
    Therefore, my question and concern is: HOW do we delete "program files" unintentionally installed on an iCloud Drive, without affecting or losing other System Files? Do we need to completely "uninstall" and "re-install" iCloud Drive on a PC? If so, will I lose the photos/videos already stored?
    Also, can someone--ANYONE please, post a single link to go to, without having to muddle through tons of other links, just to COMPLETELY UNINSTALL iCLOUD DRIVE?

  • HT201104 iCloud Drive FAQ raises more questions than it answers

    I am tired of seeing statements from Apple stating that any file or folder can be stored on iCloud Drive and then kept up to date across all devices. As far as I can see this is simply not true. iOS has no file system as such, so you simply can't see files that aren't associated with a particular app. Another question I have seen asked by a number of people and to which I have seen no satisfactory answer is: where is my iCloud Drive folder locally on my Mac and is it backed up by Time Machine?
    iCloud Drive is a total mess. Why oh why oh why didn't Apple just go and buy Dropbox. With Dropbox I know exactly where my local folder is and it is backed up with Time Machine. I can store any file I want and see it either through Finder on my Mac or Dropbox app on my iOS devices. If I want to open a particular file on an iOS device, I simply use the 'open in' and it's job done.
    One thing that would make a massive difference here is a Dropbox like app for iCloud Drive. It wouldn't fix all the problems but it would go a long way to making it actually usable. Are there plans to do this?
